ENERGY BALANCE
The food and drink we consume in our daily diet provides the energy and
nutrients we need to stay healthy and energetic. our personal calorie
needs vary according to our weight, age, gender and activity level, but
"on average" women need about 2000 calories a day to maintain
their energy balance and keep their weight stable. Men need about 2500
a day. The energy content of stored body fat is about 3500 calories, so
a 500 calorie deficit is needed each day in order to lose one pound. The
safest way to create an energy deficit is by reducing calorie intake and
at the same time increasing energy expenditure.

SLOWER METABOLIC
RATE
We all know people who seem to be able to eat as many food calories as
they like without gaining weight. However, clinical studies show that
although a higher metabolic rate does allow people to eat more without
gaining weight, slender people typically inherit a lower metabolic rate
than obese people, and thus burn fewer calories while at rest. According
to the latest theory, leaner people are believed to be more "spontaneously
active" than obese individuals and have greater "non-exercise
activity thermogenesis". In simple terms, they twitch, or move around,
or fidget more than overweight people, and this helps to burn extra calories.

Control and Genes
The amount of food energy we consume, how we metabolize it into glucose
and then distribute it to cells/muscles as energy or store it as body
fat, is regulated by a large number of hormones, enzymes, and other biochemical
agents. Thus it seems obvious that the significant calorie surplus needed
for obesity must be influenced by DNA and other genetic factors. Even
so, as genes only change over millennia, they cannot be responsible for
the huge increase in obesity over the past two decades. One common myth
is that obese subjects have slower metabolisms. However, clinical studies
show clearly that obese people do not have slower metabolisms. Research
shows that obese patients typically have a faster metabolic rate than
lighter people.

CALORIE TIP
Food eaten late at night may cause indigestion, but it doesn't lead to
greater fat gain than the same number of calories eaten earlier in the
day. It's the total amount of kilocalories that count, not when they are
consumed.

CALORIE DEFICIT
The most effective way to create the necessary calorie deficit to lose
weight, is to choose lower calorie foods and take regular calorie-burning
exercise. Good low calorie food includes fiber-rich foods (to fill your
stomach); the best type of exercise to burn energy is aerobic exercise,
although strength training is also useful to increase muscle mass thus
raising your metabolism.

ENERGY SURPLUS
While obesity remains a complex condition, experts cite overeating and
lack of physical exercise as the two main causes for the current overweight
epidemic. In short, the calorie content of our food serving sizes is too
high and our energy expenditure is too low. This leads to a surplus of
energy and increased fat storage.
